"You see when we blank out our minds and memories and take things purely at face value they seem a little more innocent. They seem a little more reasonable.

One such thing would be the RealID Act. When taken purely by itself most people do not take issue with it. In fact it seems to be a reasonable and logical thing to do. Let's have a National ID. Unfortunately there is more going on here. There is more at stake here. The RealID Act is another step in the forward march of the Juggernaut.

Having been ravaged by the Great Depression the people of this great Nation were found to be more pliable and accepting of plans implimented by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Social Security seemed to be a great idea. So people bowed and willingly accepted a number figuratively branded on them for life. Canada's "social insurance number" is not dissimilar. Little did We The People know that FDR was a Paranoid and very much desired to use the SSN to keep track of every citizen of the United States. FDR's Administration eventually gave birth to the CIA and after his passing, the NSA.

We now live in a Nation and indeed a World where data are diligently collected on on every person possible. People are defined in such a system, not by names, but numbers. It is an information megalith of such epic proportions that human beings couldn't possibly keep track of all the data. But fortunately Science eventually comes up with a solution.

In the late 80's and early 90's I was exposed to such a solution on a near daily basis. I became very intrigued by two new avenues of Science, Neural Networks, and Artificial Intelligence. Suffice it to say that the science and technology both have come a long way. And although a person or a group of persons or an army of persons could not possibly keep track of the awesome mass of information in the system, a Neural Network can. Artificial Intelligence can.

The RealID Act seems innocent enough... reasonable enough... until you see that it is merely another component in a larger unstoppable machine."
